so guys, it’s official. the boys are finally married.

50 tips for (fanfic) writing

have fun

write whatever is interesting to you, even if it won’t be interesting to anyone else

appreciate kudos when they come, but don’t expect them

appreciate comments when they come, but don’t expect them

if you wish you could just write that one scene you have in your head, do that. you don’t need to create a 30K backstory for it first.

embrace one shots

embrace drabbles

embrace writing your story out of order

rough drafts are meant to be rough. if you can’t think of a word, put in a placeholder for it and keep going. 

try not to get stuck on the little things

it’s okay if your readers can’t see the picture inside of your head

some people work well when they have a posting schedule. some people work well when they don’t. it’s okay if you don’t know which kind of person you are, and it’s okay if the type of person you are changes over time.

if a rule you created for yourself isn’t working for you, get rid of that rule.

make fandom friends. even if they don’t read your fic, they’ll cheer you on while you write it.

cheer on other writers you know. you’ll be cheering yourself at the same time.

no trope or genre is better or worse than another one. they all just appeal to different audiences.

quality and popularity are not the same thing, although they do sometimes overlap

numbers and statistics will never tell you whether or not you’re a good writer. they will never tell you how valuable you are as a person. 

you belong in fandom if you want to be there

you’re a writer as soon as you start writing things

writing and posting are two different things. your story is still worth writing, even if you never plan to share it

you don’t need to apologize for what you write or what you post. 

don’t worry about taking up too much space. the internet doesn’t have a maximum size. 

keep your readers in mind when you’re tagging your content. how could they search for your fic? if you use a tag, will be a reader who loves that tag be satisfied with how much it appears in your story?

if you have a relationship in your fic that plays a minor role, tag it in the Additional Tags section instead of the Relationship section so that people who love that ship don’t get their hopes up

be cautious when looking at bookmarks on your fic. they aren’t “extra comments.” that’s a space where readers make notes for themselves and each other, not for authors. 

you don’t need to know everything about canon before you start writing fic

you don’t need to read fic in the same fandoms you write for

you don’t need to read fic at all in order to write it

love your work because sometimes you’re the only one who will - and that’s okay

if your hobby starts feeling like a job, you might need to take a break before you get burnt out

if you get stuck on a story, you can always start a new one

if you fall out of love with a story, you can always stop writing it. if you’re worried about your readers, you can always give them a bullet point summary of where you were planning to go with thing. for a lot of people, that’s satisfying and provides closure

if you get hate, report it

use the tools at your disposal to block hate before it can come in (limiting or turning off comments, limiting or turning off asks, blocking users, etc)

try replying to comments sometimes. it can be a lovely way to make fandom friends

don’t be afraid to reblog your own writing posts.

if you get stuck on your summary, just write 1) who the story is about 2) what they are doing and 3) what problem gets in their way

notice when your writing makes you smile. that moment is a gift. enjoy it.

notice when your writing makes you cry. that moment is a gift, too.

even if you’re disappointed in how your story turned out, there’s something in there that’s fantastic. find that thing and focus on it and feel proud.

some ideas are ones you want to write. some are ones you want to read. if you ever have too many ideas to deal with at once, give some of the latter ones away to someone else. 

sometimes the things you write will be really personal. be careful about putting them where other people can comment. they won’t know how personal it is for you, and you need to remember that comments aren’t about you, they’re about the story.

remember that you can write series as well as stories. if the story is done but you still have passion or ideas, start a new one in the same universe.

enjoy the satisfaction of finishing a story. savour it. bask in it a little while.

don’t feel guilty about abandoning a story. not every story gets finished, and that’s okay

you can have separate accounts for different fandoms. you can have one account with a million fandoms in it. do whatever works for you.

sometimes writing is more important than sleep - but only sometimes

it doesn’t matter if that story has been written before by someone else. it doesn’t matter if it was written by you. write it again.

only follow the advice that makes sense to you. the rest isn’t important.

Okay so now that i actually think about it, most of the events that happened in the Hello Neighbor franchise could have been avoided if Theodore’s bitchass just went to therapy when he started to lose his damn sanity. Seriously, the man needs it, most of the atrocities he has committed could have never been done if he got some help. His poor wife and kids had to put up with his shit for god knows how long. The fact that he was once a decent father to his kids(according to what i heard from someone who read the books) and just became a monster is making me feel a whole range of emotions, i especially feel bad for Aaron cuz he was affected most by him. And don’t even get me started on what he did to Nicky bruh

Yo, I'm about to start a rant, so just bear with me. I absolutely can not stand Demoman's mother. I absolutely can't stand her. Here are my reasons why.

She gave him away at birth until he discovered his bomb making skill, which is part of Degroot tradition. It's like she doesn't actually care for him and cares about the traditions of the family more than her own son.

She doesn't seem to accept the fact that her son is not happy with missing an eye and wants him to lose the other one, despite him obviously (and understandingly) not wanting to. In her words "No Demoman worth his sulfur ever had an eye in his head past 30!"

She never seems to appreciate any of Demo's efforts. As stated back in the "Demoman's Offer" comic during the WAR! update, he makes $5,000,000 a year, got his mother a mansion to live in, was holding down three jobs at the time, and how does his mother react? She berates him. She moans and scowls at him for not living up to the impossible Degroot family standards, despite him doing as much as he possibly could to make her happy.

She seems to think that just because she's his mom that she knows absolutely what's best for him, and doesn't allow him to follow any other dream that doesn't involve around bombs.

At the beginning of when Miss Pauling was getting the mercs back together, Demo was in an extremely depressed state. And the fact that his mother was constantly yelling at him to get a job sure as Hell wasn't making him feel any better. Instead of helping her son back on his feet, she decides to act like her usual entitled self and practically scream out her preaches towards the traditions of the family.

So, while you all are practically worshipping this woman, I am over here, infuriated by her self entitledness and uncaring ways. And I thought that Lana (Sniper's real mom) was a bad mom!

TLDR: Demoman's mother is a ratched old hag, she's a terrible mother, and my poor Demobabe deserves more love. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

see ya’ll in the next week

k i made a Real Hug mod for ep 10

also I started to draw a few more frames but i couldn’t keep it in line

How Zhao got promoted

Zhao is the Kevin gates of ATLA

Pain.

“Thank you for taking care of me, Max.“  “Sam, don’t…” “No, really. I wasn’t me anymore. And I never would have wanted to force you to–"  “Oh, shut up about that. Nobody forced me to do anything. I’d lug you around for centuries if I had to. We’re partners, right?”

Some more artwork of my 2 OC's, i really liked how this one turned out. This was originally posted on the Avatar Discord server
